Spay or Neuter your Pet
Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet
- Helps greatly reduce our current overpopulation problem
- Spaying/neutering is encouraged at an early age for the better health of the pet
- Spaying/neutering can cut down on nuisance behaviors like spraying, mounting and
roaming - All animal shelter pets are required by law to be sterilized
State code (Texas Health and Safety code, Animal Sterilization Act, Section 828) requires that all animals adopted from a shelter be sterilized.
Spaying/neutering of all pets is encouraged at an early age for the better health of the pet. It has been documented that early spaying of females alleviates health issues later such as
mammary tumors. The early neutering of males will reduce the incidence of prostate problems, testicular cancer and discourage territory marking, running off issues, etc.
Spaying/neutering, most importantly, helps greatly reduce our current overpopulation problem. In addition to providing comprehensive medical care for your pet, many local veterinarians
also offer Spay/Neuter services. We at Animal Care Services strongly urge all pet owners to establish a relationship with a veterinarian to protect the health of your pet. Remember,
your pet depends on you to provide them with yearly checkups and vaccinations! For a list of local veterinary clinics that are members of the
